An Italian idiom: “Chi nasce tondo non muore quadrato”

-->

I think this Italian idiom is a Neapolitan expression (”Chi nasce tunno nun more quadro“). I use it a lot to express when somebody want to change its being and it fails. This italian expression is really without expectation, it means that everyone can not change its being and its character although try however to do it.
Are there similar idioms  in your language?
